All Power To The People 1966 Tapestry

Founded in October of 1966 in Oakland, California by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, the Black Panther Party for Self Defense (BPP) became the most famous black power organization of the late 1960s. Newton and Seale met in 1965 at Merritt College where they were exposed to a burgeoning wave of Black Nationalism, inspired in part by the Afro-American Association, established by Don Warden at the University of California, Berkeley in 1962. The raised fist remains a key part of their symbology, though it’s also evolved to be a symbol of standing up against the man for groups and causes of all races, so whether you’ve got a political cause in mind or are just into power fisting, this one is for you!
